The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

Is it too soon? Probably !

PFT’s Week One 2021 power rankings

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

The relevant part:

9. Saints: They swept the Bucs last year and had them on the ropes in the playoffs. They could be the one NFC team to disrupt a return to the Super Bowl by the Bucs.

Interesting they have the Saints in the top 10. Hanzus had them ranked 15 stating that he had to see what the Saints offered before moving them.

SFIAH

Oh boy, power rankings! Now I'll know if the Saints are good or not. It saves me a lot of research. :roll:

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

The Browns are 6th this year ? ... Got it.

I'll check back in late November.

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

I love power rankings! They mean absolutely nothing but they're interesting to read. Lol

Meh, I'd rather watch the US Open with actual major tournament title runs on the line right now, than what some ESPN goofball thinks about our football team.

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

Sorry, but meaningless football talk outranks tennis for me any day.

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

I love the contest of wills and skills and witnessing the physical and mental war of attrition that occurs between competitors during a good tennis match. It is admittedly a whole different buzz than I get when watching football. May not be for everybody, but just calling out there is great live competition going on that could tide you over until gameday Sunday. I may opt to record the Saints and watch it later if the US Open if the mens/womens final occurs at the same time on Sunday. It's been that good.

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

Wow! Definitely a matter of taste, I suppose. I get nothing out of tennis regardless of the stage. I'd rather watch the third round of a random women's golf tournament than the finals of Wimbledon or whatever. Did you used to play or something?

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

Play in a local tennis league and enjoy it. I'm not awesome of anything, but I love to play. More will than skill LOL. So yeah that is an influence, but even during years when I was overweight and wasn't playing I still loved watching.

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

Do your thang Neugey✌️. I watch as well. Always look forward to the French Open and Wimbledon. I’ve also tried playing :rolleyes: but those Pros make it look easy.

But that’s super cool you still play :bng:

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

I was a big tennis fan back in the Connors/McEnroe/Borg days. Gripping TV IMO. The game lost a bit of appeal with the racket tech and the transfer to the big serve style. Big rallies are a thing of the past unfortunately.

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

Badminton is the only racket sport I played. I was invited to play on the NC State club team my freshman year, but I had a lab at the same time as all of their meets. I started working for the newspaper the following year and never had the opportunity again. I did play some tennis with friends in high school and with a cute volleyball player at State in a "challenge of the sexes" deal we had going on, but really never more than that.

LOL! I just went out to the garage and found my old Wilson T3000 racket hanging on the wall. It's got to be 45 years old and the strings are still intact. That was the racket I used in the mid 70's. Hell, it was the only racket I used.

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

I do remember watching when Evonne Goolagong played. I loved her exotic look.

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

People still watch ESPN ? Thought they weren't around anymore..

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

Yes. For beach volleyball.

Power ranking, with the right to change your mind

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

Your post needed pics.

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

Agree on the rallies not being as prominent. Your best bet is watching a women's match between two defensive players or Nadal against the right opponent.

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

Indeed. I do enjoy watching the women’s game for that very reason. I also forgot to mention Ivan Lendl. During the 80s watching him play was great!

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

I took a tennis class in high school. I was never that good because I have poor depth perception. I did have an ace serve that got me 2nd place in my only tennis tournament which transferredwell to racquet ball.

Tennis is fun to watch but women's volleyball is much more "entertaining" to watch in my humble opinion.

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

Wait, I thought they (experts) said the Titans, Packers & Bills had no flaws?

How did that work out this past weekend? Lol, yeah ok.

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

So no pics?!? :confused:

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

There was no high speed film to catch my serves back then. lol

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

Bump ...

Figured I'd circle back in since we are in early November.

Bucs & Chiefs ... 1,2 power rankings :rolleyes: ... check.

Oh and Cleveland ... check. It appears OBJ is no longer with the team as of this morning & last in the AFC North. Check.

Good old power rankings :p.

Re: The Power Rankings You've Been Waiting For
 

Not to mention Cowboys at 17 and the cardinals at...25! May as well be throwing darts.
